The airline started off with daily nonstop flights between New Orleans and Dallas. With the launch of service to Vegas and nonstop flights to Los Angeles starting on April 14, the company has grown to offer nonstop flights to seven destinations.

Spirit officials say full flights to and from Vegas reaffirmed their observation that the Big Easy has become an incredibly popular destination in the last decade.

Mark Kopczak, Spirit Airlines' vice president of network planning, says the expansion to the West Coast is the company’s way to continue to be a part of the city's growth.

“We're focused on bringing fares down in this market. We saw an opportunity that we could come in, we could add flights to numerous cities and be able to make it more attractive -- more affordable for people to come here and spend their dollars here -- have fun here,” Kopczak said.
